I am using Firefox 2. Sometimes, when different webpages are loading, on the status bar tells me it says "transferring data to www.googleanalytics.com" when im not even visiting that site. Should i be worried? :confused:

640269 2008-02-14 09:57:00 Google Analytics (abbreviated GA) is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Its main highlight is that a webmaster can optimize AdWords advertisement and marketing campaigns through the use of GA's analysis of where the visitors came from, how long they stayed on the website and their geographical position.

Nothing to be worried at all. I dont know any website that doesn't use it.
